GENERAL COLLECTION 

 OF RAMBLER ROSES. 



All of the Rambler class are of strong, 



vigorous growth, making shoots 10 to 20 feet 



long in one season, and when in flower are a 



gorgeous sight. Some very fine new varieties 



of this type have been introduced in the past year or two, the best of which 



are offered on the preceding pages. 



Crimson Rambler. Too well known to require description. Everyone 

 is familiar with its large clusters of crimson flowers. 



PhUadelphia Rambler. An improvement on the above; identical in all 

 respects, but with deeper and more intense crimson flowers. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters; 

 very fragrant and lasting; a grand Rose in every way. (See cut on op- 

 posite page). 



Lady Gay. A most desirable variety of remarkable, vigorous growth, 

 with flowers of a delicate cerise-pink, passing to soft-tinted white. The 

 effect of a plant in full bloom with the combination of the soft white 

 flowers, cherry-pink buds, and the deep green of the foliage is indeed 

 charming. 



Trier. A strong-growing climber, producing large, gracefully arranged 

 trusses of small flowers of a delicate rose color, changing to a creamy- 

 white, and showing a large cluster of yellow stamens; it is exceedingly 

 pretty, and deserves a place in every collection. 



Yellow Rambler. Small semi-double yellow flowers; very fragrant.
